Instructions

First, squeeze the papaya a little to ensure that it is ripe and slightly soft. Next, use the knife to cut the papaya lengthwise; down to the centre. Check the inside of the papaya to ensure that it is bright orange in colour. If it is slightly yellow, you can still make use of it.

Use the spoon to carefully scoop out all the papaya seeds. Put the seeds inside the cheesecloth. Ensure that you do not scoop out any of the papaya flesh. Do not throw the papaya flesh away; it can still be eaten or added to a salad delicacy.

Rinse the seeds with tepid water to remove any pieces of papaya flesh or juice on them.

Next, turn on the oil press and set it to the required temperature, that is , about 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Finally, place the seeds inside the oil press machine to extract the papaya oil. When you are done with this, pour the oil inside the glass container to store it. You can also store it in a plastic container.

Papaya seed oil can also be used as a hair moisturizer. It helps to prevent hair breakage and strengthens the hair follicles; aiding the healthy growth of your health. It also gives your hair a deep and healthy shine.
